A leading climbing brand has launched a massive recall of some popular climbing harnesses due to a design flaw that may endanger rock climbers.
According to an alert by the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission, the US division of French company Petzl has issued a recall of three of its harnesses after discovering the flaw. According to the official recall, the harnesses can all be put on backward, meaning the rope or carabiner can be attached to a non-weight-bearing leg loop elastic band, placing the user at risk of falling and sustaining serious injury or death.
